Bachmann taps former Huckabee Iowa campaign manager

Republican operative Eric Woolson will be named Iowa campaign manager for the Michele Bachmann campaign, NBC News can confirm.

An announcement will go out tomorrow.

Woolson, who was hired about a month ago to lead the Bachmann campaign's communications in Iowa, was Mike Huckabee's 2008 Presidential campaign manager in Iowa. Sources stress this is a newly created role in the Iowa campaign office -- an indication, sources say, that the campaign is growing.
